Vladimir Putin sent the President of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan, Kurmanbek Bakiev, a message of congratulations for Victory Day

The message of congratulations reads, in particular:

“May 9th will remain a day to remember those who fell in battle against Nazism, a symbol of the unparalleled heroism of our people who fought shoulder to shoulder and worked selflessly in the rear for the sake of the Great Victory.

I am convinced that joint efforts to further develop and strengthen the friendship and cooperation between Russia and Kyrgyzstan acts as a worthy continuation of the accomplishments of millions of our citizens.”
